Welp, I've reached that point in the semester already for midterms. I almost think midterms are worse than the finals themselves because It's like the first big test of the semester that professors have and I always have questions on my mind. Here are 21 questions for midterms that I'm willing to share (but honestly I had like 100.) It's my Junior year of college and I don't think anyone ever gets used to college-level tests. I think students adapt but every semester is different professors so we're constantly learning and we're constantly adapting.

1. How many tests do I have?

2. How many questions are on each test?

3. Which test do I have to force myself to take first?

4. How long will it take?

5. Is there a study guide for it?

6. No study guide? Hmm, how will I study then?

7. I wonder if I should form a study group for this. Nah, I doubt anyone will respond to my message.

8. Okay, so I'm doing this thing solo.

9. The week before the test* I should probably start studying today.

10. I think I'll wait until I can sit down and re-read the readings and go over the assignments again.

11. Days pass* Time to start studying and making a study guide so I can review.

12. Things I don't like hearing, "hey, can you send me your study guide?" Um sorry, but no I can't send it to you because if I do all of this work for myself to try to do good in this class then I'm pretty sure you're capable of doing it too.

13. Okay, I studied a little bit, I'll be fine right?

14. First test over with, four more to go.

15. Why is college solely based on tests? Like what if I'm a bad test taker?

16. If I get a certain score, how will it affect my grade?

17. Oh great, I'll be fighting for a C in this class for the rest of the semester.

18. The second test, check. The third test, check. The fourth test, check. Yay, I'm finally done!

19. Thank goodness that's over, now I can sleep and relax for a little bit.

20. Goes to class the very next day*

Professor: "This week we will be focusing on your presentations and semester essays."

Other students and I are thinking: "Whyyyyyyy are you like this?"

21. The list goes on and on and on. But college will be over with one day, I just don't know how to enjoy these not so fun parts of the college experience. But I promise that I'm trying.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
